On Wednesday 9th July FCN’s Honorary President Baroness Minette Batters spoke at the charity’s reception event at the Great Yorkshire Show, kindly hosted by the National Farmers’ Union.
Minette highlighted the vital work of FCN volunteers over the last 30 years ‘walking with’ our farming community during difficult times and periods of change. She also discussed some of the pressures our sector faces and how a collaborative approach is important as we look to the future.
Thank you to the 60+ organisations and individuals in attendance who shared their own insights and examples about the importance of the work of FCN and how we can work together to engender a positive mindset. We are humbled to hear of the people we have helped and the difference the work of our charity makes to our farming community.
